Bills Mailbag: With Tyler Bass shelved for the season, does kicking job belong to Matt Prater?
‘or the season, he’s 17 of 19 on field goals and 34 of 37 on extra points. He hasn’t had a lot of what I would call pressure-packed kicks.

‘“Just focus on whatever he has to do from a day-to-day standpoint,” Brady said of what he wants to see from Keon. “I think Cooks is going to be good in the room, just seeing how a guy playing for a decade goes about things. You never want to not play, but he handled it the best way that he could. He showed that, given the opportunity, he was going to be ready to go again. I like where his approach and his mindset is right now, and how he’s been practicing. Then Josh trusting him, coming up in the big touchdown, so you hope we can just continue to grow on that.”’
Bills' Joe Brady offers surprising reason for run game success
